MessageQueue.GetPrivateQueuesByMachine() does not work on windows server 2008 R2 with SP1

Question

Hi,

    I am trying to get the private queues from the remote server (windows server 2008 R2 with SP1) using MessageQueue.GetPrivateQueuesByMachine("RemoteServerName/IPAddress") but when i use the same I get the below exception. This still works when my server is windows server 2003. 

Exception message: Message Queue service is not available.

I have installed MSMQ on the server still I am confused.

Why has this stopped working?? Is this a Bug in .Net? if Yes please point me to the hot fix...

My code snippet is below :-----

// Get a list of queues on the specified computer.

MessageQueue[] QueueList = MessageQueue.GetPrivateQueuesByMachine("IP address of windows 2008 r2 server");

// Display the paths of the queues in the list.

foreach(MessageQueuequeueItem inQueueList)

{

Console.WriteLine(queueItem.Path);

}
